Ah - Nemu! Thank you for the reply. My original build borrowed very heavily from your fire/elec build a few years back, so thank you for the intro! Here's where I ended up after some time in mids. I'm pretty happy with it but would greatly appreciate your input/thoughts.
Something I noticed while putting this together... Havoc punch and thunderstrike are/have been changed to knockdown rather than knockback, so the knockback->knockdown IO isn't necessary for those anymore. I was going to change more things around but decided I wanted to play the blaster more than I wanted to mess around with further build optimization. I'm sure I will go back and tinker some more later.
I have not been using shocking grasp much or at all, outside of hami raids when the need arises. I dumped the slots out of it (mostly) and put them into fire breath for exemplar'd TFs (ignore the power pick order, it's not what I ended up with on live) and content where I wanted more ranged AOE damage. This is probably not the correct choice but the build has so much in the way of soft CC through power sink, force of thunder, and thunder strike that I found myself just not using it. I could definitely see dropping slots from charged brawl in favor of shocking grasp or switching back away from fire breath though.
